Minoan
Crete
-
ANS-Minoan
civilization
is
known
through
legendary
accounts
of
King
Minos,
the
labyrinth
beneath
his
palace,
and
the
Minotaur.
Archaeological
evidence
for
Minoan
civilization
includes
excavated
palace
sites
at
Cnossus,
Phaistos,
and
Mallia,
and
widely
distributed
remains
of
Cretan
pottery
and
other
artifacts.
The
evidence
suggests
that
Minoan
civilization
was
influenced
by
the
civilizations
of
Egypt,
Syria,
and
Mesopotamia.
Minoan
civilization
was
destroyed,
probably
by
Mycenaean
Greeks,
about
1450
B.C.E.
Mycenaean

-
ANS-Widespread
dispersal
of
Cretan
and
Mycenaean
pottery
and
other
goods
around
the
Aegean
world
and
in
the
Middle
East,
shows
that
the
Mycenaeans
existed.
The
uniformity
that
is
characteristic
of
the
Mycenaean
territory
may
have
been
due
to
some
sort
of
political
unity,
or
it
may
have
been
the
result
of
extensive
contact
and
trade.
Also
typical
of
Mycenaean
civilization
were
luxury-filled
tombs
for
departed
rulers,
large
houses
for
the
aristocracy,
and
the
use
of
Linear
B
writing.
Mycenaean
sites
share
certain
common
characteristics,
including
hilltop
citadels
with
thick
fortification
walls
that
enclosed
palaces
and
administrative
buildings.
Evidence
for
long-distance
contact
and
trade
includes
wall
paintings
of
ships
in
Egypt
and
Thera
and
excavated
remains
of
the
ships
themselves.
The
Mycenaean
Greek
people
are
thought
to
be
descended
from
a
combination
of
an
indigenous
population
and
Indo-European
invaders.
The
Mycenaean
state
controlled
the
economy,
organizing
grain
agriculture
and
wool
production.
However,
we
know
little
about
the
Mycenaean
political
system,
religion,
society,
or
particular
historical
events.
The
evidence
indicates
that
Cretan
traders
came
first,
and
were
later
joined
and
then
replaced
by
Mycenaeans.
In
this
trade,
Crete
and
Greece
exported
wine
and
olive
oil,
weapons,
craft
goods,
slaves,
and
mercenaries
